Abstract

ObjectivesBlack Bengal goat (Capra hircus), a member of the Bovidae family with the unique traits of high prolificacy, skin quality and low demand for food is the most socioeconomically significant goat breed in Bangladesh. Furthermore, the aptitude of adaptation and disease resistance capacity of it is highly notable which makes its whole genome information an area of research interest.\n\nData descriptionThe genomic DNA of local (Chittagong, Bangladesh) healthy Black Bengal goat (Capra hircus) was extracted and then sequenced. The de novo assembly and structural annotations are being presented here. Sequencing was done using Illumina sequencing platform and the draft genome assembled is about 3.04 Gb. 26458 Genes were annotated using Maker gene annotations tool which predicted BUSCO Gene models. Universal Single Copy Orthologs refer 82.5% completeness of the assembled genome.
